The Smoke Grenade is a Light, Medium and Heavy class thrown gadget that creates a cloud of smoke to block vision in an area.
Usage
The Smoke Grenade can be selected as one of three gadgets for any loadout.
Holding the primary trigger will prepare a high-velocity overhand throw. Holding the secondary trigger will prepare a low-velocity underhand throw. While preparing a throw, the gadget's trajectory is indicated up to the point where it bounces off a surface. Swapping to a different item will cancel the throw. Releasing the trigger throws the gadget.

Stats
Effects
The Smoke Grenade can be deployed by throwing it. The first time it impacts on a surface or contestant, it bounces away. On its second impact, it triggers to create a cloud of smoke that blocks vision in the area.
If the smoke cloud is near an active fire, the fire will be put out by the smoke.
Properties
Gadget
Grenade — Can be thrown like a grenade, meaning overhand or underhand. The trajectory and impact point are shown as an indicator.
Multiple Charges — Can be used 3 times. When a charge is used, it automatically recharges over the cooldown time.
Projectile
Projectile — Gets affected by gravity and has a travel time.
Bounce — Bounces away when the projectile collides with a surface or contestant. For the Smoke Grenade, this happens exactly once.
Trigger on Impact — Can fly for any amount of time and triggers when the projectile collides with a surface or contestant. For the Smoke Grenade, this happens only on the second impact.
Interceptible — Can be removed by the APS Turret, nullifying its effects. This causes the turret to lose some health.
Reshapeable — Can be reshaped by the Data Reshaper into a piece of decor by opponents.
Not Damaging — Hitting a contestant directly with the projectile does not deal damage.
Not Destructible — Cannot be destroyed by receiving damage such as from bullets or explosions.
Smoke
Usable by Opponents — Can be used by opponents to their advantage.
Visibility — Affects the line of sight of the user and/or opponents. The smoke cloud blocks vision.
Not Attached — Does not attach to a surface upon deployment. The smoke cloud will remain stationary.
Not Damaging — Does not inflict damage.
